Thanks for the bug report.


I highly doubt this is due to `pam_krb5` missing, as that module has been retired since at least Fedora 32.

Did you verify your system configuration has been updated after the update?
$sudo rpmconf -a

You're right, it wasn't. I thought PAM was to blame for gdm not starting because the most noticeable error messages in the output from `journalctl -xe -u gdm` were those about the inability to load pam_krb5.so. But on further investigation I found that the actual reason gdm didn't start was that `dnf system-upgrade` had run out of disk space and failed to remove a bunch of F34 packages. I've reported this separately in #2021590.

No, but I manually copied the .rpmnew files in /etc/pam.d over top of the existing config files, and I no longer see the log messages about pam_krb5.so.
